Topic: Belly fat accumulation (Read 1603 times)

H! guys please what would I do to over come this belly fat accumulation? I've tried so many exercises but none work or should I change meds atripla or whatplease I need your advice on this,thankx sanitex

There is a drug that helps to reduce the fat but, it is in limbo due to some production problems. It is supposed to come online again September to October. They have upped the time line 3 times now, so who knows. The drug is called Egrifta and you inject it once per day. I started it and it works great. Then they quit distributing. I started again and it was working again, then they stopped the manufacture and reformulated it. I started again and then they had to re-license through the FDA or something. I'm real stressed cause it causes me to have breathing issues when the fat comes back. Not good.

I wish you the best. You should get the ball rolling now cause it takes awhile to get it approved. The Axis foundation can help you and educate you.

hi i am also having belly fat issues.... to the point that others ask me "why are you having belly if you are not precisely fat???" mmm any suggestion apart from meds... is there any other way to reduce or get rid of these??

the Egrifta has so far been the only successful way to work on this problem of internal hard belly fat and by my DRs collected input it works well in about 60% of the users I had been using it for a few years till they stopped production...it is now back and I have been using for a few days..I am hoping it will be as effective as when I last used it.... went from 36w to 32 w which was my normal size.... only a few Pharmacies are distributing it and the precess may take some persistence to get going my experience has been very good...so if you can get it I recomend you try it .....The first time I used it ,it took about 4 months to get the final result and you have to keep using it to maintain that result , with Dr monitoring I went to every second day and it seemed to work fine till It was no longer available....after 7 months of not having it went back to the 36 w
